We gotta warn Mars!
Of course we do, but that asshole on the bridge was right - they may not get them all, and it'll only take a few. I think I have a better idea. Jim, Amos!
HoldenYou guys are OK?
Yeah. We couldn't reroute all the pods, but we were able to turn their transponders back on. Mars can target them now, but we're worried that they may not get them all.
[In the elevator to the surface] Holden!
HoldenGo! [To Naomi] And if they don't, they'll blame earth and this war will just go on.
I know. There's a way that we can shoot all the pods down before they reach Mars: Fred Johnson! He has the missiles he stole from earth, he can destroy those pods.
HoldenYou want to send their transponder codes to [Fred Johnson]...
Tycho is near their flight path. He could kill a lot, maybe even all if we're lucky.

Maybe a path to peace for both sides.
HoldenIf he captures them, we're handing him another weapon!

Alright, I'm in!
It's worth a shot...
HoldenI agree.
Naomi Fred, I think I might have a have a way for the belters to strengthen their position as an equal player in the system and also do some good...
